Coping with public and private transport since 2001
Today, we had the second meeting this week, this time it was about the documents we handed in last Monday. Our professor handed us some pointers to create better documents, and these will most definitely be taken into account over the next few days. I’m pretty tired right now so I’ll leave it at this, tomorrow there’s a great deal
Continue readingOur final report is getting along nicely, and after persuading Microsoft Word to follow my intentions which has caused quite a bit of a headache at times, it also not only looks nice but has the right chapter-numbering. I hope we will be releasing the report in a short while, for you all to read and gloat upon. It will

In today’s session, which has been held plenary with all groups. Yes, all three of them. The deliverables

Luckily for me, I’ve managed to at least solve one of my issues, which is

Our main concern is converting the different ‘parts’ of a balance, assets and liabilities, into a generic resource or

(And he is right too! 😀 ) Anyway, today we had the group-session in which the semi-definitive object became clearer. As an assignment for again a group session next week we are to fiddle about with several programs and some
